Investigation details indicate that the case also involves allegations of extortion, with the accused maintaining that no affected party has come forward so far, and the defense, led by advocate Mohsin Cheema, argued that the officers were not directly involved in any bribery activity, stressing that the charges lack evidence, which contributed to the court’s decision to grant bail for the three officers while maintaining procedural safeguards for the investigation’s continuation and integrity.
However, the court rejected the bail application of another accused, Salman Aziz, who remains in custody pending further review, highlighting that the judiciary continues to examine individual roles and evidence carefully, ensuring that accountability is maintained for all involved parties, and signaling the court’s commitment to balancing legal rights with the need for thorough investigation in high-profile cybercrime cases.
